Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and scale?
The C-7 SLS Elite Evil Twin is a 7-string guitar with a 26.5" scale length designed for extended-range playing and djent. The Synyster Custom-S is a traditional 6-string with a standard scale, suited for classic metal and hard rock lead work.
How do the neck construction methods affect playability?
The C-7 uses neck-thru construction with an Ultra Thin C contour for maximum upper-fret access. The Synyster uses set-neck construction with an Ultra Thin C at 0.748" at the first fret; both offer fast, comfortable playing but neck-thru provides seamless fret access while set-neck is a more traditional design that adds body resonance.
What are the key pickup differences?
The C-7 features dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers with ceramic bridge and alnico neck pickups plus push/pull controls for quick tonal shaping. The Synyster pairs a Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbucker (bridge) with a Sustainiac neck pickup that generates infinite sustain and harmonics via dedicated switches—ideal for lead expression and harmonic effects.
Which is better for tuning stability?
The Synyster Custom-S features a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with locking nut and Grover tuners for maximum precision tuning stability. The C-7 SLS Elite Evil Twin uses standard hardware; while the carbon fiber-reinforced neck resists warping, it lacks the locking bridge system.
